by TD Staff Reporter

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Talented LSU sophomore running back Leonard Fournette witnessed crime and devastation at a young age while growing up in the 7th Ward in New Orleans.
Fournette, a consensus All-American, took to Twitter on Tuesday and said that Football has saved his life and helped him escape some of the issues he saw as a youth.
Marty Smith with ESPN's followed up with a reply and asked Fournette to elaborate, which he did:
In case you missed it, ESPN's College Gameday aired a segment about Fournette earlier this season, titled "Fournette Driven By New Orleans Roots," which was fantastic.
